Recapping Chapter 13: Wash Away Those Years
"Brian, how is he?" Brandy asked.
"Pretty bad. He wants me to tell you that he's sorry, that he loves you,
and he knows he needs anger mangement training and I'm going to help him
through it."
"Tell him I'll forgive him, but he will always leave a scar in my heart."
Brandy ran away crying.
Just then, Nick opened the door.
"Hello, Justin." Nick said in a sarcastically friendly tone.
I remembered Brandy's bruises when she came into my room. I know she's a
lot smaller and couldn't defend herself that much, but they were big.
So there are really only 2 words left for me to say.
Oh....shit.

Chapter 14: Waking Up With A Vengeance
"Hello, Justin." Nick said to me. I gulped.
"Hi Nick" I said shyly.
"I'm not going to hurt you Justin...just take good care of her for me, will
you? I still love her too."
"I will." I smiled at him. He smiled back. I walked away to my room. Brandy
was moving in her stuff.
"What did he say to you?" Brandy said as she loaded clothes into the draws.
"Nothing much."
"Uh, ok." she stopped what she was doing and put her arms around me.
"It feels great to be with you again." her eyes gazed into mine and she
pulled me into a short, but passionate kiss.
"I love you. Don't go out with Nick again, please."
She laughed. "Your cute when your worrysome. And what would make you think
I would EVER go out with him again?"
"I don't know. Want to go on a walk tonight? Check out the stage?"
"Yeah sounds good. Have you seen The Dig yet?"
"The who?"
"Apparently not. It's beautiful. You'll love it."
"Show it to me baby!" I did a little gallop around the room.
"Hee hee. Its really romantic too."
"Romantic's never bad...."
"Not at all."
She put her arms around my neck, and as were about to kiss, Brian stormed
in. He didn't look angry, but he did look upset. He sat down on the couch
in the little room between my room and AJ and Brian's room.
"Brian, whats the matter? you ok?" I sat down next to him.
"I'm fine. I'm just really worried about Nick."
Brandy sat down next to Brian, and as she did, she pulled him into a
hug. He began to cry. Brandy let Brian cry on her shoulder, and she stroked
his cheek in comfort.
"Why are you worried about him?" Brandy asked.
"I told him I would try to help him, but I don't know for sure if i
can. And if I can't, what should I do?"
"Don't worry about it. He's going to be just fine. I'm going to help you
out too, as well as the rest of us.
All of a sudden, AJ walked in (more like waddled slowly), ass naked except
for sunglasses, brushing his teeth.
"Whoopsies, didn't realize there were people in here!" he turned around,
walking away from the room, at the same speed.
I looked over at Brandy. She had the funniest look on her face. She was
half confused, half shocked, and half like "whoa!". Brian just looked at
where he walked in. I was laughing my ass off.
"Now, back to what our conversation,"said Brandy, breaking the ice. "Is
that the only reason why your worried about him?"
"I was just getting to that...I don't know if he's going to be ok without
you Brandy. You may not realize, but he really truly did love you. He's not
over you, and he really regrets doing that you."
"Trust me, Brian, he will get over me."
"Let's hope so." Brian responded. "Well, I;m going into the shower. See you
guys later."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night, Me, Brandy, Joey, Chris, AJ, and Kevin walked down to see
the stage. While glancing at it, 2 familiar figures walked over.
"Hey Atlas, Brittany: how are you?" Brandy asked.
"Just dandy, Brandy, and yourself?" Atlas responded.
"Hee hee, fine." she smiled.
"Did you guys find out anymore?" Atlas asked.
"We were kinda hoping you would explain to us, but we hadn't seen you
around." Kevin responded.
"You'll see tonight." Atlas and Brittany started walking away. Atlas turned
around,
"Oh, and by the way, sweet dreams." He said. Brittany turned around. Her
eyes glared a bright red.
"Weird...." Chris said. We started walking away from the stage site near
the beach. Chris and everyone else but Brandy went off to get some dinner,
while me and Brandy headed back through the dig.
When we entered, it was like some globe thing with fish in tanks
surrounding it. On the side were these stone slabs, suopposed to be seats,
and on top, helmets were hanging.
"I feel like were in an Indiana Jones movie" I cracked a Joke. Brandy gave
me a weird look, and looked back at the fish. I started humming the indiana
jones theme, until brandy took my hand and shusshed me. She led me into the
next room. I looked at the tanks. Millions of fish swam by me. I noticed
weird, rusting objects in the middle of the tank.
"Brandy, what are those things?" i pointed to them.
"They're supposed to be the ruins of Atlantis," she replied,
intrigued...."Lets move on."
We walked into the next rooms. Just more and more fish, and some crabs
too. Then, one room really caught my attention.
In the middle, it was like a steam pit. Hanging up on the walls were two
weird looking suit things, like old scuba gear. On the other side were 2
more suit things, and a small ship that looked like it could be from Star
Wars.
Now, it was time for the Romantic part of the dig: what happens is none of
your business.
We walked into our room. We were both exhausted from yesterday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Joeys room, the next morning....
Joey woke up with a start. He reflected on the dream he had last night as
he approached the bathroom. Now, everything Atlas had explained made
perfect sense.
He went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. A smile appeared on his
face. He felt a shudder of excitement as his power flowed through him. He
stared at his bright red eyes in the mirror.
"Baby, Lets go to breakfast." Chris said outside the bathroom.
Joey smiled once more and met his lover. They walked out together and down
the stairs.

More later, off the mall I go!
Love, Lauren
